By the way, I can tell you from experience that if you had previously synced from say a Borders desktop and then loaded the Kobo one and synced to it you WILL corrupt your database.
That was not my experience.
I originally used the Borders Desktop app as I purchased my Kobo from Borders in Australia. However I soon discovered that the books I wanted to read were signficantly cheaper from kobobooks.com
I started purchasing from kobobooks.com and downloaded epubs through ADE. A few weeks later I mistakenly purchased a book from Kobo that wasn't available as an epub. My fault for not being observant but the only way to get it was to download the Kobo app and sync.
The only "problem" I encountered was that it all my books from Kobo were duplicated as I had the ADE epubs and the synced Kobo versions. I had that sorted by removing the books from my Kobo library and resyncing with only the one book I needed.
Of course now the Borders app doesn't work anymore as you can only have one OR the other not both. But in my experience you can certainly change from one app to the other if you are not happy with the app you start with.
